Hi Thomas,
Wow! Do I know that feeling! But you know the struggle has helped me
even with Windows. I've just been updating Win 7 to Win 10 and if I
hadn't learned to be so bloody-minded trying to learn Linux (Xubuntu)
I'd never have managed. I've learned how to cull the useful
information from several sites which appear to be writing in some
strange language whuch means little or nothing to me, until the whole
thing gells. Suddenly, I've done something some of the IT guys at work
can't do (Ta Ra!!!). I'll be emailing them the how to later this weekend.
I'm 69 and can honestly say that even the frustrating battle teaches
lots; and I've learned a lot more than just that.
Thinking like people who like to write operating systems isn't easy...
Regards
David Walland
PS I still haven't found out how to turn my network board back on when
a Xubuntu update screwed it up. In windows I just rolled back to the
previous driver and it turned it back on but it still wasn't working
in Xubuntu last time I tried it and I don't know how to go back to the
previous driver which *did/does* work
Hi, I am 71 and luckily running Linux since about 15 years and now it's
my only OS
I run Ubuntu / XUbuntu / Linux Mint Rosa.....
I helped lot of relatives (as I'm retired) who used Windows to follow
the move from XP to 7 and 10 ....
Most of them are now running Linux Mint Rosa because :
1. By default W10 is completely ignoring EU privacy laws.
2. Most of them can't afford a new machine to run W10
3. The graphical environment was too complex for most of them
4. Older programs (and older hardware ) did not work with W10
By the way, Xubuntu is (IMHO) far less polished than Rosa Mint making it
somehow touchy for "ordinary" end-users.
PS : I also installed Rosa Mint on a Mini Macintosh because of the end
of support for this machine by Apple
